I need to get the ATA standards supported by the hard drive. I use c++, winapi. WMI cannot be used. Any software solution that does not use WMI is needed. These ATA standards are meant www.ihdd.ru/ata-atapi-standard .

To execute a request for internal disk needs admin rights.
You can also ask for general information using Windows tools, for example, through STORAGE_QUERY_PROPERTY, it does not seem to require admin rights, but the information is not so complete
